One day, when I have copious amounts of time and lot's of beer and/or caffeine, I will load this idea into photoshop and do a real job

But then again, they pay people to do this. WHAT AM I DOING

Unlike Coolingdx I am not pushy and would chip in to buy you A beer.

I just needed to get my 2 cents worth in looks great though and shows a dramatic change in our skyline.

Now I must be off. Heading for the beach in the morning. Problem is I will need a dog team to travel on this beach.

I like beer. I will be in the uk for 2 weeks starting tomorrow, hence the spare time. I'll bring my mac pro which has photoshop on it.

Anyways, don't judge for aesthetics, it looks like a drunken ransom letter, but kind of neat to see some far off twisted perspective on out skyline in the near future.

My prediction is that Capital Boulevard is going to be a huge dissapointment.

Also, what are you expecting? The Taj? It will include nice wide sidewalks, special lighting, mid block flower beds and crosswalks as well as special stone base elements.
